Hook Type Shot Blasting Machine for Removing Surface Rust and Welding Slag

A shot blaster is a machine that controls the flow or stream of fine metal beads as they are forcibly projected against a surface by mechanical acceleration.

Types of metal abrasives used in shot blasting include steel grit, copper shots, and aluminum pellets. Other methods of shot blasting use silica sand, glass beads, synthetic materials like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and even agricultural materials like crushed kernels.

Shot blasting is the process of abrading the surface of a metal workpiece to remove rust, dirt and other solidified contaminants by hurling a high speed stream of tiny pieces of stainless steel that resemble buckshot. It is capable of deburring, shaping and texturing a surface.

Essentially, the sandblasting process uses compressed air to shoot some form of abrasive media like sand against the product being treated. Shotblasting employs centrifugal force from a mechanical device to propel treatment media upon the product.

The entire cleaning process is completed in a very short period, usually 7 minutes, after pressing the start button.
